Only 5 weeks remain to enter the Shopify 'Build a Business' Competition

by Startacus Admin

If you want to take part in the Shopify build a business competition then you had better get your entrepreneurial skates on because there are only 5 weeks left for you to register and create your online store. 

The Build a Business Competition

Shopify is an e-commerce platform which every year holds a Build-a-Business competition in which it challenges enterprising self starters to create an e-store and compete for sales over a 2 month period - this year during April and May 2015.

All entrants will have their sales monitored and the 5 top sellers within the 2 month window will receive a phenomenal prize - the opportunity to fly via private jet to Richard Branson’s Necker Island for a 5 day adventure - filled with exploration, mentorship and of course professional growth.

Apart from Sir Richard Branson, other mentors this year include Tim Ferriss, Daymond John, Marie Forleo and Seth Godin. A pretty impressive bunch then!

What you should do next

As we mentioned, you have only got until the 31st March to get your e-store up and running so we advise getting started as soon as possible. 

First of all, identify what product(s) you’d like to sell, open a Shopify store and then select a relevant category. The categories in question are Fashion & Apparel, Electronics & Gadgets, Art, Jewellery & Crafts and our personal fave “Everything Else”. Yep - they have all bases covered!

To keep things simple, you can get straight down to business HERE.

The next bit is what really matters. Selling!
